hand tool to move the canvas #799

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
often it is more convenient to be able to move the canvas with a tool rather 
than by scrollbars, especially when moving diagonally

Vic,

Not sure if it suits your purposes completely, but svg-edit emulates 
Illustrator's behavior, in that you can hold down the space-bar and drag to 
move the canvas.

We are talking about panning here, correct?

I forget sometimes that I am spoiled on my MacBook.  I use two-finger dragging 
on the trackpad to achieve scrolling in any direction (without having to 
interact with the scrollbars).  A mousewheel on a mouse would do the same thing 
for the vertical direction at least (and some mouse support other ways of doing 
horizontal scrolling).

Ah, thanks for the space-bar hint.

A use case for a panning tool is tablet pcs with stylus or touch input. 
However, panning would there probably be activated by using two fingers or 
pressing the stylus button.
